Thirty‐nine patients with bipolar illness preceded by organic factors were compared to age and sex matched bipolar controls. The patients with pre‐existing organic factors were older at onset of their bipolar illness, had fewer depressive episodes, less family history of affective disorder, and were symptomatically different in a number of respects. The nosology of such disorders is discussed and the literature reviewed.
